Dear Maulana,
While performing any salat, is it compulsory to remove the leather belts. Please advise.
Best regards

Answer:- Leather belt which is made from Halal animal is not Najis and there is no
need to remove it during performing Salaat, but if the leather was not from
Halal animal, then it must be removed during performing Salaat.
Wassalam.

Would it be better to pray tahajjud before midnight with the niyat of qadha or ada?

In Jammat prayers, if we enter the mosque after the prayers have started, at what positions can we catch up with the Jammat.
While offering prayers in Jammat do we have to stay silent and listen to the imam or we have to recite as well?

A. Joining the Jama'at Namaz can be only during the Qiyam (standing) of the
Imam of the Jama'at, or Rokoo'.

A. Al Hamd and the Sura in the first two Rak'ats are recited by the Imam of
Jama'at only and you should not recite. Others things in the Prayer must be
recited by you but with out loud voice.

Question ID 712 - Salat

Salam Alaikum,
I am in Mumbai, India.
Near my office there is a Masjid (non Shia)
I usually go there for Salat.
Now I have learnt that the land on which it is constructed is neither purchased nor donated for it.
It was decades back when migrants from other parts of the country encroached on unattended government land had develop it as temporary hutments which we know as slums and the tenants built their respective religious structures (like Masjid and Temples)
Can I still offer my Salat there?

Answer:- If the land was not usurped from any person and it was just a public land,
you are allowed to pray in that Masjid.
Wassalam.
